Valentine's Day might be over but if you're still yearning to keep the romance in your bedroom going all year long, the crimson color (and all its lighter and darker hues) is usually a great way to go.

But if you don't want to overwhelm your space with too much red (which can be formidable in large quantities) and aren't the biggest fan of pale pinks (though its moved on from it, some still can't shake pink's nursery past), what are you to do? Use this potent and powerful color in small doses, and we know the perfect spot: the nightstand!

Whatever you favorite shade might be (pink, red, red-orange or more), if you've been looking for something to bring just the right pop of color into your modern bedroom but weren't sure what color should do it, we humbly ask you to consider something in the red family. And because nightstands are (usually) such small and simple pieces of furniture, plenty of DIY and before & after ideas abound. In fact, wouldn't just a "floating" piece of painted wood in your favorite red color be a really awesome modern, affordable and space-saving solution? More ideas:

1) Sam and Anne totally found the shape of a nightstand they loved and had it powder-coated in a neon, pinkish-orange color for a stunning effect.

2) Emily of Merrypad's bedroom features a lot of crisp white and dark wood and a perfect modern pop of red with a nightstand.
